Just need some advice on my 3rd gear pull. I don't understand why I am recieving knock.

Runing 93 pump gas

Mods in profile are up to date I believe

1st and 2nd are great

I did a pull before this and was perfectly smooth and had less than a degree of knock. 1/10 chances this is what will happen though.

I'm rich, in the 10.0:1 range. Basically just stumped. All basics are done such as base timing, boost leaks etc..

BoostEst, is right on

And I let off the throttle if I see more than 2 degrees of knock, that is why I didn't finish the pull.

post your idle log, at 15 psi you should not get knock with 93. try to pull timing 1 or two degree where you start knocking...
 
I will when I get home tonight. What would an idle log prove? Everything is set at idle other than ISC, that just wont move when I adjust the BISS.
